Fixed lens cameras were more attractive in the days of film. The body didn't really become obsolete and a good lens continued to be a good lens. Today, you're dropping $2800 for a great lens and a great sensor, but in five years, you won't be able to move that great lens to a newer sensor. Fundamentally, as bodies become more and more disposable--and they are already--fixed lens cameras become less attractive.
So I guess my answer to your question is: Not much.

I mostly agree with you. However, I don't think the case is so clear because there are also good arguments on the other side. In the days of film there was no such thing as having a camera designed for a lens: most importantly, the angle of incidence of light on film is irrelevant. With electronic sensors and their micro-lens arrays, having the lens and sensor designed jointly so that they work well together can be a very good idea and a substantial advantage for image quality.
So the thousands of copies of Fujifilm cameras, from the GA645WI PRO 45 to the GSW690lll PRO 65 to the new GF 670 80, were not designed with the lenses in mind. Good to know and how fortuitous the cameras worked at all. But hey, if "the angle of incidence of light on film is irrelevant" I'm sure any old piece of glass stuck on a box will work as well as another so easy to believe the lenses were just pulled from a parts bin and glued on.
I cannot tell whether your condition is being acutely young or severely dense.
